Abstract

The crystal structure of (±)-phenylpropanolamine has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods. The structure was solved by direct methods and refined by least-squares toR=0.055 andR w=0.045 for 2000 reflections (I≥2σ (I)). The molecule was found to adoptgauche geometry. Inter- and intramolecular N-H⋯O and O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds were observed in the crystal structure.
